This document discusses 5G wireless access technologies that will enable the networked society beyond 2020. It outlines key challenges like supporting a massive growth in connected devices and traffic volume, with requirements ranging from multi-Gbps to hundreds of Mbps. 5G will evolve existing wireless technologies and introduce complementary new technologies to address these challenges. It will provide affordable and sustainable solutions through an ultra-dense network architecture using technologies like multi-hop communication, device-to-device communication, and spectrum sharing across licensed and unlicensed bands from 300 MHz to 300 GHz.
